C124 – Divine Medicine!
After Wang Guohui finished speaking, he bolted down the stairs without a second thought.
An elevator was right beside him, but Wang Guohui was too impatient to wait for it. He preferred to take the stairs.
Soon, a car appeared in the distance, escorted by a police car at the front and back.
President Chen had been stopped for speeding, but after a quick explanation, the officer didn’t hesitate to escort him. What would have been a 20-minute drive took only 5 minutes.
“Mr. Wang!”
President Chen approached briskly, holding a bottle filled with black ink.
“Thank you, President Chen. Do you have it?”
Wang Guohui asked urgently.
“Right here!”
President Chen handed over the item, which Wang Guohui received with a momentary pause. Had he not been previously informed, he might have suspected an attempt to poison his mother.
“Mr. Wang, let’s save the other talk for later. We need to get upstairs and save your mother now!”
President Chen urged. Wang Guohui nodded quickly and took off running.
He was agile and swift!
Upon reaching the upstairs ward, he found the door ajar. Nurses stood by as urgent medical instructions echoed from within.
“Get ready…”
A doctor called out loudly.
Terrified, Wang Guohui dashed into the room, where seven or eight doctors were huddled in a circle, their expressions etched with concern.
Nurses bustled about in a frenzy.
“What’s happened? What’s going on?”
Wang Guohui demanded loudly.
“Mr. Wang, your mother… she suddenly… I’m afraid there’s no hope for her this time…”
The lead doctor sighed heavily behind his glasses.
“Guohui…”
The elderly woman opened her eyes, gazing at her son with a cloudy gaze. “I’m not young anymore. Passing away now isn’t so bad. You’re grown up; take good care of yourself…”
“No!”
Wang Guohui vehemently shook his head, dropping to his knees before his mother, and quickly unscrewed the bottle of mineral water. “Mom, drink this. Once you do, you’ll get better.”
The doctors around were taken aback.
Upon closer inspection, the mineral water in the bottle was as black as ink.
There were practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine among them, yet they were certain this could not be any form of TCM.
“Mr. Wang, given the old lady’s condition, we’ll do everything we can. But please, don’t fall for any bizarre treatments. They could hasten her passing…”
“Enough from all of you!” Wang Guohui snapped, turning to silence them with a shout.
He stepped forward, positioning the bottle at his mother’s lips, supporting her back and neck with his hands to help her sit up slightly.
Wang Guohui’s actions caused every nurse and doctor left in the room to watch with bated breath.
They were unsure what he had given her, but they knew Wang Guohui was no fool.
Someone as astute as Wang Guohui wouldn’t be easily deceived.
The doctors scarcely dared to breathe, while President Chen stood motionless at the doorway.
The old lady managed to drink more than half the bottle in just a few sips before she couldn’t take any more.
Wang Guohui’s eyes were wide with intense anxiety.
Suddenly, the old lady’s eyes snapped open.
The next second, her body began to shake violently.
Wang Guohui’s fists clenched, his lips tight.
Was the medicine not working? Or…
“Look, it’s taking effect. Her heartbeat is strengthening, her blood pressure is normalizing…”
Just then, a nurse exclaimed loudly.
Wang Guohui, momentarily stunned, quickly turned his attention. His mother’s blood pressure had been dangerously low, her heart beating only forty times a minute—a rate indicative of someone nearing death.
But now, her heartbeat had not only grown stronger but was also nearing the rate of a healthy person.
Most crucially, her breathing had evened out, and the pallor of her face was returning to a healthy glow.
“It’s incredible!” Wang Guohui exclaimed, unable to contain his relief.
Immediately, several doctors converged on her to begin their examinations.
“My goodness, this is miraculous!”
The old lady, previously suffering from severe pneumonia and multiple organ failure, was now showing signs of recovery according to the medical instruments.
At this pace, her recovery won’t be far off.
The key issue was the old lady’s chronic rheumatism.
Her legs had always been cold, but now they were gradually warming.
Wang Guohui stood, his whole body shaking with excitement.
“It’s nothing short of a medical miracle!”
“Mr. Wang, what is this medicine? Could you spare a drop for me to analyze back at the lab?”
“If this were to be widely distributed, it would be incredible…”
The surrounding doctors were beside themselves with excitement.
Among them were seasoned veterans, utterly speechless at the sight, unable to believe their eyes.
Wang Guohui fixed his eyes on President Chen, strode over, seized his hand, and knelt down emphatically.
“Thank you, President Chen. From this day forward, we are brothers. Whatever you need, I won’t hesitate to help.”
President Chen immediately shook his head, quickly lifting Wang Guohui to his feet.
“Mr. Wang, you’ve got it wrong. This isn’t my doing.”
“What?”
That’s when it clicked for Wang Guohui; President Chen had mentioned this before.
Regardless, President Chen played an undeniable role in his mother’s turnaround.
“Regardless, you played a significant part in saving my mother. Please, don’t dismiss my thanks.”
Wang Guohui implored with urgency.
His mother had been critically ill, teetering on the brink of death, and the succession of blows had left Wang Guohui in utter despair.
Moreover, he was wracked with guilt. If only he hadn’t been so consumed by work and had spent more time with her, she wouldn’t have resorted to that sham clinic for treatment and nearly lost her life.
